Parkway Roundabout is the junction between the A92 and A956 at Bridge of Don on the north side of Aberdeen. It also seems to be known locally as the Exhibition Centre Roundabout as the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre lies in the south east corner of the junction. It is a simple four-arm junction, with each arm being dualled on the approach, although the western arm of the A92 soon reduces to single carriageway. The A92 turns from the west to north as it completes its tour around Aberdeen, while the A956 approaches from the south having passed through the city centre area. The eastern arm is unclassified, and leads into the business park.

Before The Parkway was built around the north of Aberdeen, there was no junction here, with the A92 simply passing through from south to north. However, the roundabout was built as part of the new road and saw the A92 number move, with the A956 extended from the docks to this new terminus. Soon after this, in 1994, the A92 was renumbered as the greatly extended A90 which ran from Perth through Dundee and on to Fraserburgh. Then, in 2018 with the completion of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route, the A90 was moved out to the new road, and the old ring road regained the A92 number. At the same time, the junction ceased to be on a trunk route.
